FOUR IDEAS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS. "(1) all entities within the universe (e.g. a single particle, a human or even a galaxy) can only be properly described with the aid of a quantum ‘wave function’. (2) that we have a tool called the Schrödinger equation, which allows us to evolve these wave functions in time." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn

ISSUE OF SCALE. "However, in many ways quantum mechanics is still a concept alien to biology, especially on a scale that can have a physiological impact." https://lnkd.in/eRUdQZj View in LinkedIn

ALL CHEMISTRY IS QUANTUM. "This progress leads naturally to the question: can quantum mechanics play a role in biology? In many ways it is clear that it already does. Every chemical process relies on quantum mechanics." https://lnkd.in/eRUdQZj View in LinkedIn

PARALLEL UNIVERSES. "Until now, no one has imagined that the natural world has anything to teach us about the quantum world." https://lnkd.in/eDJed9B View in LinkedIn

SILO THINKING. "Before the twentieth century, biology and physics rarely crossed paths. Biological systems were often seen as too complex to be penetrable with mathematical methods." https://lnkd.in/eRUdQZj View in LinkedIn

PARTICLE PHYSICS. "Electrons and protons vanish from one position and rematerialise in another – a kind of teleportation." https://lnkd.in/eYXPebN View in LinkedIn

SCALE MATTERS. "Quantum mechanics (QM) provides a more accurate theory to describe the behaviour of matter and energy than the classical theories that preceded it. The divergence between classical and quantum behaviour is most easily seen at very small scales." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn

LIFE IS QUANTUM, not just digital. Shrödinger's "order from order" in periodic crystals. "The colour of your eyes, the shape of your nose, your intelligence or propensity for disease are encoded at the quantum level." https://lnkd.in/eYXPebN View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM COMPETITIVENESS. "Do some organisms take advantage of quantum mechanics to gain an advantage over their competitors?" https://lnkd.in/eRUdQZj View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM BIOLOGY. "Over the past decade a range of experiments have suggested that there may be some cases in which quantum mechanics is harnessed for a biological advantage." https://lnkd.in/eRUdQZj View in LinkedIn
